#12 PHU || SF || Jaxon Heiden Jaxon Heiden 6'9" | PF Alta | 2022 State UT || Alta High School ||
Really think that Jaxon could find a home at either a high level D2 or a LM D1. His game hasn’t reached it’s peak yet but he shows glimpses of what he can do as a 6’9 SF that can play outside in the perimeter. Jaxon doesn’t just catch and shoot although he does that well, he can put the ball on the floor and he can create space out there as well. Great touch in the mid-post and he has some good quick moves down in the paint aside from going straight up. He plays with a great motor and passion and he is always challenging and altering shots anywhere near him.
#15 PHU || W || Henry Irhig Henry Irhig 6'6" | CG Davis | 2022 State UT || Davis High School ||
Henry was good last year but this yer we expect him to really make a jump. He plays hard and he plays with more of an attacking game as he is looking to make things happen. That aggressive play has really sparked him as a driver and as a scorer in general. He is getting looks from various schools but this high school season could really put him on the map for college coaches looking for a solid 3.
#22 PHU || CG || McCoy Langston McCoy Langston 6'6" | CG Copper Hills | 2022 State UT || Copper Hills High School ||
McCoy will be used all over the floor at the high school level as he can play 1-4 but he really excels when he has the ball in his hands. He knows how to create and when he plays with pace he can really get in a groove. McCoy can shoot and his release is high and a lot quicker. Curious to see how he rebounds from playing against the best players in the country on the Adidas 3SSB Circuit.
#35 PHU || PG || Sam Sivulich Sam Sivulich 5'11" | PG Northridge | 2022 State UT || Northridge High School ||
I don’t think this kid is going to get away from a local college looking to add a PG that can score at the NJCAA level. He is too good to overlook and he is tough. Look for him to be among the leaders in points scored.
#72 PHU || G || Amare Ames Amare Ames 6'1" | CG Kearns | 2022 State UT || Kearns High School ||
Amare Ames Amare Ames 6'1" | CG Kearns | 2022 State UT is a good quality guard with some size at the PG position that can move over and be off the ball. He can handle the ball and get through pressure and he can step beyond the three and get his shots off as well. Like him as a slashing PG that can give you what is needed. He can facilitate and he can score if needed.
